Clients that support creating automations can pass the slug as sourceDefaultTaskSlug to link the new automation to its template. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json get /automation-templates/{slug} openapi: 3.1.1 info: description: >- The public Modem API.

Omit for all products (global); an empty array is rejected so 'global' has one representation. Acts as a channel preset — at dispatch time the scoped products' currently linked message channels (product_channels) are resolved and the automation fires when the triggering event's channels intersect ANY of them. It additionally instructs the agent to scope the run's output to those products.
